BLACK+DECKER GL9035-GB Corded Electric Strimmer Grass Trimmer, 900 W, 7000 RPM, 35 cm with Wheel Edge Guide & Adjustable Second Handle for Heavy Duty Weed Cutting, 3.2 Kg

This is my second corded (b+d ) strimmer. This one is more user friendly than previous model( which had the motor at cutter end inducing higher fatigue). In this new model motor in switch side and not over hung. New model has long cord. My apprehension was on bend shaft which is inefficient and may generate more heat. ( New model 700 W compared to older model of 600 W). It is so, but not a great disadvantage. One can take a break which is beneficial for man and m/c. This model has one side line( 2mm) for normal use , but for thick bush, 2 sided one more set is given. I haven't understood the design philosophy of single line cutting which induces more vibration. M/c supplied line ( 2mm) was limited in length and later I used available 1.6 mm line. It did not work properly, the spool unwounded. There is a strong reco from b+d to use 2mm line only. Quite unfortunately, both design use a reduction gear which is non metallic. That will be the item first to damage and life get limited. I don't know why b+d cannot improve on it. The mc comes with square pin where as in India, we are having round socket. So , an interface adaptor needed or we have cut the cable and replace with round pin. Line auto feed is working, but I have not understood the principle behind it. This m/c is more rugged than previous version, still spool cap can get damaged,if it hit ground or stone. ( end of life) By and large my apprehension on bend shaft which delayed my purchase is not a concern. Those who are buying, pl stock consumables like line, spool etc. My previous model, I could not get spare parts as model is withdrawn. Users, pl use gum boot, gogles and cap and enjoy safe working.

Machine is good. 900W power (is more than the power of a normal mixer grinder which is around 850W) is enough for grass upto 1.5 to 2 ft height. Only problem is with the spares. Just one packet containing just about ten odd 35mm long nylon wire strips with the locking mechanism at it's middle is provided as spare with the machine. This one enables two wire strands at the head. And if you are cutting relatively stronger grass, this perishes in no time. There are no spares available online. Then you will have to solely depend of the other single spool which reduces the cutting efficiency as it enables only a single wire cutting head. But this can be replenishmened with any 2mm nylon wire. Happy with the product, problem is the lack of availability of spares.

Goodachine so far, working well,, the wire supplied with the unit is very delicate and breaks up veg fast. No blade attachment facility for hard stems to cut. The plug was provided can use only at GULF country.

great product but horrible customer service in india, you cannot even find a basic spool to purchase online, i dont understand why Black and Decker sell these online when they can even supply basic parts

It does what it is designed for...

Spare parts are too difficult to manage. The customer care team is just to connect with some vendors to give support and then it's upto the vendors how they'll treat your request. The parts are very costly. A simple 1 ft nylon strip is 38 rs. Even if you order in bulk say 20 or 50, there is no discount. The Heavy duty strip also doesn't last much. The other one is useless. Stanley should improve their customer support and create some universal standard, so that, at least the Nylon strips, available in local shops can be fit.

Good product for smaller bushes and grass. But the line provided was very poor quality. May I know whether the heavy duty lines are available online?

Works very good. For even novice user, it's easy to handle. Took less than 45 minutes to clear well grown weed in about 400 sq ft area. Regarding nylon string, it's available in any hardware / tools selling shop. Even 3 mm thickness is also doing good job. Use it in auto feed bobbin as it's cost effective and bother less. Take out the plastic bobbin and wind the nylon to resuse the same. For safety, better wear a helmet and protective gears to safeguard legs. It's a wired equipment, so be careful while using. Cable might caught along with the rotating spindle and get smashed. Always keep an eye on cable.

Well folks🙂 I have to tell you this has been a nice weed eater that cuts really good and it's LIGHTWEIGHT and it's powerful👍 and at a PRICE that can't be beat...it's way more powerful than some battery and electric weed eaters that I have.. like a Ryobi... And supposedly a commercial grade Ryobi $200 😤.. Anyway 🙂 This electric weed eater is very good and I'll take that PEPSI challenge any day 😀 when comparing it to some other weed eaters PLUS it doesn't USE LINE like other electric weed eaters that I've used.. at least that's been my experience.. This is a KEEPER weed eater from Black & Decker👍....it handles tall grass and even some hedge... though it probably shouldn't be used for hedge but it's TOUGH 😀 and better than any battery weed eater I used especially with the power and cutting... The power alone and convenience of NOT rushing through the job with the battery pack and charging ect imo is worth the cord drag 🙂... and much better than a battery weed eater or other electric weed eaters.. This just cuts better 👍... With MORE power consistently and constantly through the whole job... So in conclusion 🙂 the Black & Decker BESTA510 weed eater in my opinion is a KEEPER and this model has been around for a while which speaks for itself not to mention Black & Decker has been around for years.... This weed eater OVERALL (pound for pound ) is a solid performer with many mostly liking this weed eater and Black & Decker products overall.. Thanks for reading🙂.. I hope my review helps... and Did I mention It's made in the USA...🇺🇲..🙂...

Es un buen producto, tiene la fuerza necesaria para espacios pequeños y hierba no muy gruesa, trae un buen tramo de hilo, por lo que no te preocuparás por un par de meses. Por el precio y lo que ofrece es una excelente opción. Recuerda comprar también una extensión que sea compatible.

This is a really good and powerful grass trimmer that gets the job done quickly. It's easy to use, cuts through long grass well, and the cable is nice and long, so you have plenty of reach without constantly needing an extension lead. One thing I'd strongly recommend is buying safety glasses and sturdy footwear if you don't already have them, as they aren't included. I was hit by flying debris while using it and ended up with a minor injury. Wearing the right protective gear is definitely worth it. Overall, it's a great strimmer that's easy to use, offers good value for money, and has a generous cable length. Just make sure you use the proper safety equipment while operating it.

This trimmer is brilliant. I have a small/medium garden, slightly overgrown and it mowed through the edges like anything. Super powerful. No issues with the thread breaking at all. Very slightly on the weighty side but to me that's better than something lightweight and flimsy. Great buy

This electric weed wacker works great! It is very light and easy to handle and get into tight spaces. I love the electric power that it has with it being corded.
